Xiaomi fans have finally got their wish. After months of speculation, leaks, and unofficial information, it’s confirmed – the global unveiling of the new generation of flagships will take place on February 28, 2026 at 14:00 (GMT+1) in Barcelona. The main star will be the expected Xiaomi 17 series, including the Xiaomi 17 Ultra, but the Chinese giant will also bring other interesting products from various categories.

This is a full-fledged global launch, not a Chinese presentation with a later international debut. That means the new products will go straight to European markets. After a long wait, we finally have a fixed date and official confirmation that everything we’ve heard about so far will become reality.

You can watch the live stream of the Xiaomi 2026 presentation here:

Xiaomi 17 and Xiaomi 17 Ultra flagships: Master of Night

Most of the attention naturally goes to the Xiaomi 17 and Xiaomi 17 Ultra models. According to the teasers, the Ultra version is labeled “Master of Night,” which clearly points to a focus on night photography. Xiaomi is once again working with Leica, and from the available materials we can see a large circular camera module that blends in with the body of the device. The design looks cleaner and more compact than in previous generations.

We already basically know the full technical specifications, which will be based on the Chinese version. The latest flagship chipset is expected, along with a major improvement in night shooting and optimizations for AI image processing.

The Xiaomi 17 will once again be a compact flagship, while the Ultra version will be the brand’s technological showcase for 2026. The manufacturer also confirmed on its X profile that the classic Xiaomi 17 will arrive in a new special color for the global market.

Xiaomi Pad 8 Pro: Next-generation flagship tablet

Along with the smartphones, the new Xiaomi Pad 8 Pro tablet will also arrive. Xiaomi has improved significantly in the tablet segment in recent years, and the Pro version traditionally brings powerful hardware, a high-refresh-rate quality display, and support for accessories like a keyboard or stylus.

We expect a focus on productivity, multimedia, and ecosystem connectivity within HyperOS. The tablet should be an ideal companion to the Xiaomi 17 series, with Xiaomi likely focusing on seamless device-to-device integration. If you’re looking for a powerful Android tablet as an alternative to an iPad, this could be an interesting choice.

Xiaomi UltraThin Magnetic Power Bank 5000 15W: Extra-thin MagSafe alternative

An interesting little extra will also be the Xiaomi UltraThin Magnetic Power Bank 5000 15W. It’s an extremely thin magnetic power bank with a thickness of just 6 mm and a weight of 98 grams. The 5000 mAh capacity isn’t record-breaking, but the goal is maximum portability and convenience.

Support for 15 W wireless charging suggests that Xiaomi is targeting users who want fast magnetic charging without cables. Combined with the new Xiaomi 17 models, it could be a practical everyday accessory.

Xiaomi Tag: Competition for AirTag?

Another officially confirmed new product is the Xiaomi Tag. This small location tracker weighing just 10 grams should make it possible to find items remotely. With this, Xiaomi is entering the smart tag segment, which is currently dominated by Apple with its AirTags.

From the teasers, it looks like there will be support for Bluetooth search and likely integration with the Android ecosystem. For Xiaomi smartphone users, this could be a logical feature expansion—whether for your keys, backpack, or suitcase when traveling.

Redmi Buds 8 Pro: ANC up to 55 dB

The audio part of the launch will be handled by the Redmi Buds 8 Pro. Xiaomi officially announced support for intelligent active noise cancelling up to 55 dB. That’s the kind of figure that places them among the most powerful ANC solutions in this price category.

A modern design is expected, along with long battery life and integration with HyperOS. The Redmi lineup has traditionally offered an excellent price-to-performance ratio, so if you’re looking for new TWS earbuds with solid ANC without having to jump into premium pricing, it’s definitely worth keeping an eye on the presentation details.

If you’re following the development of Xiaomi’s flagship lineup and ecosystem, you definitely shouldn’t miss this event.
